WASH-STAND FOR BOUDOIR AND OTHER CARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed March 25, 1884.

Patent No. 366,413, dated July 12, 1887. Serial No. 195,452. (No model.) I

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM DAL'roN MANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Nash-Stands for Railway- Cars, of which the following is aspecification.

In the interior fittings of railway-cars econ omy in both space and weight is highly im- [0 portant.

My invention consists in constructing a wash-stand for railway-cars with a top or table formed of a number of layers of wood glued or cemented together with the grain crossed and covered with noncorrosive metal, in combination with a bowl of non-corrosive metal, the lightness and strength of these materials enabling me to make a bowl of much larger dimensions than has heretofore been practiea- 2o ble in railway-cars within the space available for the purpose.

My improved construction also enables me to provide an inwardly-proj eetin g head around the margin of the bowl, to prevent the water from swashing or splashing over under motion of the car.

In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings,

0 in which- Figure I is a plan view of a wash-stand for railway-cars with the adjacent parts of the car in which it is mounted. Fig. II is a ver tieal section on the line II II, Fig. I.

The wash-stand top is formed ofa number of layers of wood, 1, with grain crossed, firmly glued or cemented together in a manner com.- mon in the construction of parts of furniture and various other articles wherelightness and 40 strength are especially desirable. The top 1 thus formed I cover with a sheet, 2, which may be of copper, nickel-plated, or of any suitable non-corrosive whiteunetal. 3 represents the washbowl, which is also formed of suitable non-corrosive metal, by the ordinary 5 process of spinning or stamping in dies, or other suitable means, and is connected at its margin with the covering-plate 2 of the table by seaming or soldering, or both, an inwardlyprojecting marginal bead, 4, being formed, in order to prevent the'splashing out of the water while the car is in motion.

By the combination of wood and metal, as above described, I am enabled to provide a large and commodious bowl with a table occupying the least possible space, and to greatly reduce the weight of the wash-3tand,while enhancing its cleanliness and attractiveness in appearance.

I am aware that it is common to construct (o the bowls of water-closets with inwardlyprojecting marginal flanges for controlling or (lirccting the wash; but such is not the equiva lent of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A wash-stand for railway-ears, having a top or table constructed of wood in several layers, glued or cemented together, with the grain crossed, and covered with non-corrosive metal, in combination with a non-corrosive metal bowl, as herein described.

2. A wash-stand for railway-cars, having a top or table constructed of wood in several layers,secured together with the grain crossed, and a covering of metal, in combination with a basin, as set forth.

3. In a railway-car, a wash-stand table and a metallicbasin combined,as herein described, with a flange 0r bead projecting in wardlyover the margin of the basin and formed to prevent the swashing out of the water.
